Question 2
You are the project manager for an industrial project where your team will be replacing several pieces of equipment in a manufacturing plant. Doug, one of the team members, is in charge of installing a machine for the project that must be balanced within .03 millimeters, or it will not function properly. Doug will be using a tool that measures the vibrations in the machine that may cause the imbalance. If the machine is not installed by next Monday, it will cause a delay in the project as the other equipment in the project's queue are dependant on this task. What term describes the installation of this piece of equipment in relation to the downstream activities?
- A Risk triggers
- B Issues
- C Hard logic
- D Float
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
When activities must be completed in a particular order, such as in this scenario, you are dealing with hard logic, also called mandatory dependencies. Risk triggers will alert the team when a risk is about to become an issue. Issues are risk events that have occurred in the project. Float describes the opportunity to delay an activity without affecting the start date of successor activities.Discussion
